Everyday brushing and flossing are important, but today, we are not going to talk about that. Today, I bring to you some pointers you should keep in mind if you want to flaunt a sparkling smile consistently.

• Develop the habit of rinsing your mouth after you have consumed something.

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth salivated. This prevents the formation of bacteria.
• Leave a gap of an hour between a meal and brushing. The teeth are extremely vulnerable after a meal. Brushing immediately after a meal leads to teeth erosion.
• Use a small-headed toothbrush so that it reaches the far corners in your mouth.
• Brush gently. Also, make sure that you spend at least two-three minutes brushing your teeth. Play your favourite song while you brush.
• Change your toothbrush every three months. If the bristles look tattered at any time, change the toothbrush immediately.
• Eat a lot of fiber. Make roughage a part of every meal of yours. This helps clean your mouth and takes care of your overall health.
• Bite into a carrot or an apple when you feel hungry. They cleanse your mouth along with satisfying that hunger.
• Opt for fruits instead of fruit juices. The fiber in the fruit helps keep the tongue clean which further keep the bacteria at bay.
• Do not use your teeth to bite nails or open containers even if you find your teeth very strong.

And yes, don’t forget to visit your dentist once very six months. Visit earlier if you notice any reason to worry.

Happy smiling!
